		A rifle is a firearm with a barrel that has a helical groove or pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the barrel walls.
		This pattern is known as "rifling", and produces raised areas or "lands," which make contact with the projectile (usually a bullet), imparting spin around an axis corresponding to the orientation of the weapon.
		The word "rifle" originally referred to the grooving, and a rifle was called a "rifled gun." Rifles are used in warfare, competitive target shooting, hunting and sport shooting.

	Winchester rifle - Definition, explanation
		Winchester Rifle refers to an early family of repeating rifles manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company that was used widely in the United States during the latter half of the 19th century.
		The original Winchester rifle was famous for its rugged construction and lever-action breech mechanism that allowed the rifleman to fire a number of shots before having to reload: hence the term, "repeating rifle."
		The ancestor of the Winchester rifles was the Volcanic lever action rifle of Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson.

	Winchester rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Winchester rifle was the gun that won the west, manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company that was used widely in the United States during the latter half of the 19th century.
		The '76 was a heavier-framed rifle than the '66 or '73, and was the first to be chambered for full-powered centerfire rifle cartridges, as opposed to rimfire cartridges or handgun-sized centerfire rounds.
		While earlier rifles and shotguns actually "won the West," the majority of lever action rifles seen in classic Hollywood Westerns are Winchester '92s and '94s, including the '92 carbine (chambered in.32-40[1]), which John Wayne famously carried around through dozens of films set in periods from the 1830s to the 1880s.

	The Winchester Rifle: The Gun That Won the West-Science Reference Guide-Science Reference Services, Library of Congress)
		A repeating rifle is a single barreled rifle containing multiple rounds of ammunition that are loaded from a reservoir chamber (magazine) by means of a manual or automatic mechanism.
		Famous for its rugged construction, the original Winchester rifle allowed the rifleman to fire a number of shots before having to reload: hence the term, "repeating rifle." Manufacturing of the Model 1866 started in Bridgeport, Conn. in 1867; the Winchester Repeating Arms Company moved to New Haven in 1871.
		The Winchester Collection, the heart of this museum, was transported from New Haven, Connecticut to Cody in 1976.

		Unlike earlier Winchesters, the m/1895 dispensed with the tubular magazine and used a regular box magazine loaded, in the Russian model at least, with a charging strip.
		Compared to a bolt action the rifle was probably more difficult to operate from a prone firing position but had an advantage if fired in any upright position in that the operator did not have to lift his head off the sights to cycle the action.
		Due to its fine workmanship the rifle was highly valued but its small numbers and unusual mechanism relegated the type to reserve use only.

		GENERALLY: It is generally conceded that Turkey was able to purchase sufficient numbers of M1866 Winchester rifles and carbines to play a decisive role in delaying, for almost half a year the reapeated major assaults of the combined Russo-Roumanian Armies at the Battle of Plevna (1877).
		The Russians were armed with the already obsolete Krnka rifles and only a limited number of Berdan I and Berdan II rifles.
		DISTINGUISHING CHARECTERISTICS: The Turkish Contract Winchester M1866 is an otherwise standard "brass" framed 66 Winchester (although called "brass framed" the receiver is actually a bronze composition) which carries Turkish markings on the left side of the receiver near the buttstock (parallel with the rear edge of the left side receiver).
